"The Bali High Prosecutor's Office has secured the convict on behalf of Sari Soraya Ruka, who was previously included in the People Search List (DPO) of the Bali High Prosecutor's Office," said the Head of the High Prosecutor's Legal Information (Penkum Kejati) in Bali, A. Luga Halianto, Monday, January 17.

Previously, the whereabouts of the convict Soraya were unknown because since making an appeal, he had never made a mandatory report.

In addition, from the investigation stage to legal remedies, both appeals and cassation, the convict cannot be detained because of the criminal threat in the alleged article and the article indicted against the convict, namely Article 406 of the Criminal Code and Article 167 of the Criminal Code, under five years.

"And it does not include the exception article in Article 21 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The convict is a convict in a vandalism case which in 2018 was found guilty by the Denpasar District Court judges with Decision Number 543 /Pid.B/2018/PN Dps on 22 October 2018," he added.

Then, the convict made an appeal and the convict was still found guilty by the Denpasar High Court judges with a decision Number 64/Pid/2018/PT DPS on 20 December 2018.

The judge stated that Soraya was legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing acts of vandalism and sentenced to imprisonment for four months.

Furthermore, since the Public Prosecutor's Office received the decision Number 1285 K/Pid/2019 dated December 2, 2019, the Public Prosecutor has made efforts to trace the whereabouts of the convict to implement the court's decision. However, during the tracking process, the convicts were found to have changed places of residence, including Jalan Drupadi Badung, East Jakarta, Bekasi.

"It is suspected that the convict did this to prevent the prosecutor from carrying out his sentencing decision," said Luga.

Then, in the last two weeks, officers from the Bali Prosecutor's Office received information that the convict was in Bali and was finally arrested.

"The convict was monitored by the Bali Attorney General's fugitive arrest team at a shopping center in the Kuta Bali area and met with his family," continued Luga.

"The condition of the convict is in good health and an antigen swab test has been carried out with negative results," he explained.

However, since 2007 the husband of the convict no longer pays rent to I Wayan Suwena and finally

terminated the rental of the villa on July 1, 2012, and the termination of the rental was stated in the letter of termination of the lease agreement.

Furthermore, witness I Wayan Suwena as the villa owner rented the villa to a Japanese citizen. However, when the villa tenant was in Japan, the convict Soraya entered the villa without the villa tenant's permission.

"The convict entered the villa by breaking the door lock by dismantling the door lock handle and replacing the door lock handle with another door lock handle and destroying and replacing the ceramic tiles on the top floor of the villa. As a result of the defendant's actions, the villa tenant suffered more losses. less than IDR 510.000," said Luga.
